WEBVTT Des Moines schools announce a resolution to their forced forfeiture of last Friday game against Ames. But are there winners in a solution that now calls the game no contest. KCCI's Laura Nichols joins us live from East High with reaction. Today football practice goes on here as usual at East High School. Players and coaches heard about the "no contest" decision this afternoon. A no contest means Ames didn't win and East didn't lose. The general reaction here at east is that the decision is fair. They say they just wish this never happened in the first place, and that they were able to enjoy their senior night on their own field Friday. <"I AM GLAD THEY CAME TO A FINAL DECISION. THEY COULDN'T MAKE AMES HAVE A LOSS BECAUSE THEY HAD ALREADY MADE A FINAL DECISION THAT THEY HAD TO WIN. SO AS LONG AS THEY MADE IT EVEN FOR BOTH OF US. I THINK, THAT WAS A GOOD DECISION." Coming up at 10 we'll have more reaction from players and from the east head coach. Reporting live in Des Moines, Laura Nichols, KCCI 8 news, Iowa's news leader.
